Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still hot 89.6°F (32°C), differing minimally from July's 91°F (32.8°C). August nights in Aiken, South Carolina, are marked by an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
